  Cameras
There are many types of cameras out in the security market from pan-tilt-zoom (P.T.Z.) to tiny pin hole covert cameras. It is important to know exactly what you want to achieve when it comes to installing a C.C.T.V. system. Some considerations you will want to look into will be do I need color or black and white cameras? Do I need stationary or motorized cameras? Will you want to view these cameras remotely or locally? We can evaluate your facility and give you answers to all your questions. Call us today at (313) 965-6512.

Cameras: Pan-Tilt-Zoom (P.T.Z.), Stationary, Covert, Color, Black & White, Dome Systems, Chip Cameras, Special Coverts i.e. Smoke Detector-Clocks-Thermostat, etc.

  Lenses
There are many different types of lens. With this in mind choosing the right lens for the right application is important. For instance if you are trying to view a hallway or long corridor you would want a higher number millimeter lens such as a 16mm. If you have a small room and want to view as much as possible you would want a smaller millimeter lens such as a 2.5mm. Often you will find vari-focal lenses these are lenses that can be adjusted for example from 3.5mm-8mm, this will allow for manipulation to gain the most advantageous viewing area. Call (313) 965-6512 for any other questions or information you may have.

  Digital Video Recording
Digital video recording is the wave of the future. Tired of huge filing cabinets full of V.H.S. tapes? Ever have an incident but never found it on the video tape because the VCR clock and multiplexer clock weren’t in sync? If or when you finally find an incident, the multiplexer jumps the frames back and forth on valuable playback and it’s hard to get a clear image? We’ll if you have answered “yes” to any of these questions, then a Digital Video Recorder is for you. Digital video has come into its own in the security/surveillance marketplace. Everyone from security directors to I.T. administrators see this as the next big jump in recording. Everyone is benefiting from the transition to digital. Advantages are endless with digital video recorders and networks. Sharp, clear, compressed video is available for viewing locally and remotely. Personnel can view video cameras via an I.P address from a networked computer. Digital video can be recorded and stored to the built in hard drive, and then backed up in a variety of ways. Retrieval of video from a computers hard drive is easy and instantaneous to use through calendar interfaces. In addition, you can print images to your standard printer or burn an image to a CDR, with a watermark, in order to provide usable evidence. Call today at (313) 965-6512 for more information or demonstration.

Advantages of Digital Technology:

Information does not degrade over time.

Eliminate the costs of changing and managing video tape archives
(save time and money)

Improve image resolution by up to 100% ! (more detailed information to solve your investigations)

Reduce the time to search for incidents by 95%! (close an investigation faster than ever before )

History Of The Digital Revolution:

1991- Introduction of the first truly DSP cameras into the market
1994 – First introduction of the digital recorder
1999- 24 companies exhibit digital recorders at ISC show west
2000– The number of companies exhibiting some form of digital recording or transmitting equipment has grown to over 75.
2003- ISC West In Las Vegas over 125 Digital Video Recorder Manufacturers

  Monitors
There are many different monitor sizes and types. It is important to get a monitor that will fit all your cameras with proper viewing when it is put in a split screen. Sizes usually come in 9", 13", 15"and 20". In addition, you can opt for a plasma screen to conserve space and view from a longer distance. In addition it won't emit as much EMI as a regular monitor. Whether you need color or black and white monitors call us at (313) 965-6512 to talk to an account representative.

  Multiplexers
Multiplexers are a device that allow you to record up to 16 cameras per multiplexer on one V.H.S. tape and V.C.R.. It saves the end user money on recording their camera system. You can also get a multiplexer in 4 and 9 channels. By breaking up the tape into different segments you can record more than one camera to a single V.H.S. tape. Please call (313) 965-6512 to see how we can help your facility.

 

  C.P.U. Control Matrix
The heart and soul of any large camera system is the matrix of switching different cameras to different monitors. A card cage matrix consists of camera inputs and outputs and monitor inputs and outputs. With the looping outputs you can record your cameras to such devices as a multiplexer or digital video recorder. These C.P.U. based matrix systems allow you to expand cameras and monitors as your system grows. In addition, you can manipulate sequences and tours through the system. For more information call (313) 965-6512.

  V.C.R.'s
Not all V.C.R.'s are created equal. Time lapse V.C.R.'s aren't your standard home video cassette recorder. In addition, there are different recording speeds such as 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 96 hour mode. Other issues include tape selection such as T-160's. We also can repair your old V.C.R.'s if you have any questions please call (313) 965-6512.

  Remote Video Transmission
Remote video is the ability to view camera images from a different location. This can be a very valuable asset to small business owners, managers that want to keep an eye on his or department while on vacation etc. In addition, many nursing homes and other facilities are installing remote video options so others can can keep an eye on there loved ones. Different options include dial up modems, network able cameras and web cameras with their own I.P. address and web page. All cameras are password protected. If you would like more information please call (313) 965-6512.

  Fiber Optic Video Transmission
Fiber Optics is a great resource for sending and receiving data over a long distance. Not only can you control your pan-tilt-zoom (P.T.Z.) cameras with a fiber optic network you can also have up to four stationary cameras over one strand of fiber. So, with this in mind you can run a twelve strand fiber through a small conduit then twelve coaxial cables. Also, the one volt peak to peak can be maintained over longer distances then conventional coaxial cable runs. Distortion is a lot less and response time is improved. If you have existing fiber patch panels in place and are looking to add C.C.T.V. this may be a route to go. Finally, inter-connecting to different buildings via fiber is a great alternative. Call us today at (313) 965-6512 so a customer representative can discuss this issue with you more.

 

  Twisted Pair Networks
If your existing building needs a camera system yet doesn't have the space in conduits or price is a concern you may want to consider a twisted pair network. By using a unshielded twisted pair cable (UTP) you can transceive and receive a video signal. You can transmit composite video over telephone wires for extended distances, sometimes as much as one mile without a repeater. In general, Level/Category 2,3,4 and 5 - voice grade, data and high speed data, respectively - wire are supported. Distances up to 2 miles for color, or 3 miles for black and white, may be achieved by repeating the signal along the way.

Benefits:

UTP has no restrictions on bending radius. A knot in the UTP would not affect the video signal.
UTP allows quick and low-cost termination and cross connection. Often, UTP terminations only require stripping the end of the wire and screwing it down. Use of 66 or 110 blocks make cross connections quick and reliable.
Most UTP/CCTV transmission products have built-in surge suppression, noise immunity and ground isolation.
A 50 pair cable has to be pulled once; 50 coax cables have to be pulled at least 12 times.
Great for elevator applications.

  Racking Consoles
Racking Equipment: 19" rack units for V.C.R.'s, D.V.R's, Monitors, etc. Also rack units available for media storage (video tapes), A/V carts, LAN/File Servers,etc.

Monitor Racks: Fully adjustable monitor/T.V./Plasma racks. These racks can be ceiling or wall mounted.

  Face Recognition
Face Recognition constantly searches for faces in a data stream.

When a head-like object is visible the software uses a variety of pattern matching algorithms to determine if a face is indeed present at that location. These algorithms are capable of accurately detecting the simultaneous presence of multiple faces and determining their precise positions.

Once a face has been detected, it is extracted from the background and is subjected to a number of proprietary preprocessing stages to compensate for size, lighting, expression and pose. The "normalized" face is subsequently transformed into an internal representation called a face print using a mathematical technique called Local Feature Analysis. This digital code contains information intrinsic to the face and it is used to determine facial identity by matching the live face print against a database of stored prints of known individuals.

What makes the face print powerful is the fact that it is resistant to changes in lighting, skin tone, facial hair, hair style, eyeglasses, expression and pose and hence depends on the intrinsic shape and features of the face. In addition, it has been found that the face print contains enough information to accurately distinguish an individual amongst millions of people.

The entire process is fully automated, continuous and functions in real-time on standard off-the shelf processors.
